In case you're wondering why 2 separate widget sets, it's only needed if you want to follow each platform's look and feel.

If you don't care, or if your app has its own L&F (e.g like Spotify app), you only need 1 widget sets (which you can adjust the theme).

As others have pointed out in the comments, Flutter is drawn like a game engine, as in everything is drawn on a canvas, so at the end of the day it's just drawings, not native widgets.

How well does that work with accessibility features from the different operating systems? I never used Flutter or an application written with it, I just remember the horrible experience of using Gimp and Inkscape on macOS, and the lack of support for native accessibility features can be a pain.

Flutter has comprehensive a11y support: https://flutter.dev/docs/development/accessibility-and-local...

There's ongoing work on the Windows implementation here, which is tracked in https://github.com/flutter/flutter/projects/209, but this is supported on macOS, Linux, phone and web platforms.
